| Feurus Fuchsus | "Michael is NOT in Witness Protection" |
| yarnfang | Why exactly did Michael get the protection? |
| yarnfang | That part I never understood. |
| PegPeregoGaucho | He didn't |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | because of trevor i think |
| PegPeregoGaucho | he made a deal with that fib guy |
| yarnfang | Yes. |
| Feurus Fuchsus | don't know. probably something to do with North Yankton or his relation with Dave, an FIB agent |
| Mr.Rubinshtein | trevor finds about the fact that michael is alive and he may become a problem in the plan of the fbi guy |
| PegPeregoGaucho | It was a ploy to get dave promoted for catching micheal supposedly |
| yarnfang | Possible. |
| yarnfang | Also they wanted Trevor dead but fucked up. |
| Feurus Fuchsus | it's basically back in 2004 when Michael, Trevor and Brad robbed a bank in North Yankton. at one point, Dave shoots Brad and Michael with a sniper rifle, which leads Trevor to escape after the police swarms their place, which means that Michael got all the money for himself from the heist, with which he got himself all the shit he needed and managed to stay "dead" for 10 years in the eyes of Trevor. During that time, i guess Dave put him under witness protection |
| PegPeregoGaucho | Micheal Townley is dead |
| PegPeregoGaucho | he got a new identity |
| Feurus Fuchsus | yes |
| PegPeregoGaucho | that is the thing |
| Feurus Fuchsus | after the heist, he changed his name to Michael De Santa |
| yarnfang | Really shouldn't have kept the first name... |
| yarnfang | Or the one liners. |
